Last week, I went to the Xbox Spring Showcase. It is an event where many developers show off the new games and add-ons that they are working on for the coming year. After having experienced all of the games on display, here's my list of the top ten games that I am most looking forward to. If you see a game on the list that you are excited about, let me know in the comments!

The Forza 4 car pack will feature ten all new cars. The one I'm most looking forward to driving is the 1966 Ford Country Squire! I can only imagine the paint jobs that people are going to have for this car.

9

The new Gears of War III Map Pack, called Forces of Nature, will include five new maps, four new characters, seven new skins, a new "Elemental Cleaver" weapon, and the return of the Guardian gametype.

8

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City's Nemesis Mode looks very promising. It is an Xbox 360 exclusive title where players fight to take control of the Nemesis. It is very fast-paced and exciting.

7

Fable: The Journey could be very interesting depending on how it turns out. There is a lot of promise with an all-Kinect control scheme, but there is also a lot of risk involved as well. We'll just have to wait to see the outcome of this unique game.

6

Darksiders II, the sequel to Darksiders, was on display and it looked crisp. Expect big things from the game starring Death, one of the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

5

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive looks to be like an updated version of the classic first-person-shooter. With improved graphics and new maps, this game could be one that keeps people coming back for years, like all of the other Counter Strike games before it.

4

Star Wars Kinect is pretty awesome. I only got some hands-on time with the Podracing segment (Is it really hands-on if I didn't touch anything?) but the other modes looked awesome as well. This should be lots of fun when it gets released.

3

Halo 4 is one of the most anticipated games in a long time, and the scenes we saw look amazing. The developers didn't reveal too much, but there were some trailers and info regarding multi-player that looks more than interesting.

2

Fable Heroes looks like a great hybrid of LittleBigPlanet and Castle Crashers with some Mario Party thrown in for good measure. It will feature both online and local co-op with drop-in and drop-out gameplay. It is going to be an XBLA exclusive with tons of content.

Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor was the game that I was most impressed with at the Spring Showcase. It uses both the Kinect and a normal controller to operate the game. I have never seen motion controls that have felt so well implemented in a game, and it gives me hope for what could be coming next.
